depends guys knew players pushing team
We knew these guys were going to contribute. We didn't know they were going to be relied upon. They keep pushing through. I can't think of another team that depends on young players like we have.

It's not always going to be the most skilled guy, the most talented guy, that's going to put a team over the top. It's going to be those guys that, in the end, put their heart on their sleeve and do the grunt work.

I felt good. My conditioning, my legs feel about as good as they can for the amount of time I've been off. It felt really good to be part of the practice, enjoy my teammates differently than I have for the last five months.
brings colorful locker peter record replace time track
(Roenick) was always colorful and was always quotable and he'll be missed. But at the same time we all know Peter's track record and what he brings to the table. As much as J.R. will be missed, Peter will replace that and bring a lot to the locker room.
biggest bit contact level physical problem skill wear worse
My biggest problem is I can only play one way. I really can't try to play the perimeter and use some level of skill because it's not part of my repertoire. If I can't be physical then I'll never be able to play again. I wasn't any worse for wear after the little bit of contact I had, which is good.

We didn't get away with it opening night. And you saw what happened in Toronto. Four-goal leads are not safe anymore. Every night you have to play 60 minutes. Maybe more.

excited genuine guy guys light locker mood playoff run sad spent talking time
Yeah. He had spent a long time in this organization. For us, it was sad to see him go. He was sad to go. He?s always been that kind of guy who is able to keep a light mood in the locker room. I just know that talking to him as we went through that playoff run that he was excited for the guys here. He really was. He is just that kind of guy -- a genuine kind of guy. But you could just sense that he wanted to be a part of it. And you just want those kind of guys in your locker room.

We're not going to survive with one line scoring goals. We need to get offense from other places.
